13. हे पितरों, मैं तुम्हें इसलिये लिखता हूं, कि जो आदि से है, तुम उसे जानते हो: हे जवानों, मैं तुम्हें इसलिये लिखता हूं, कि तुम ने उस दुष्ट पर जय पाई है: हे लड़कों मैं ने तुम्हें इसलिये लिखा है, कि तुम पिता को जान गए हो।
13. I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know (recognize, be aware of, and understand) Him Who [has existed] from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have been victorious over the wicked [one]. I write to you, boys (lads), because you have come to know (recognize and be aware) of the Father.
